What Oliver loves...
- Barracuda 8 is located between two of Antigua’s most beautiful beaches: Ffryes Beach and Darkwood Beach. We loved exploring both beaches, swimming and snorkelling in the crystal-clear water every day. Just don’t ask us to pick a favourite!
- We adored relaxing on the terrace with a cocktail after sunset, with the stars beginning to shine and the sound of the gently lapping Caribbean Sea below
- Fig Tree Drive offers scenic views of the lush rainforest and open fields of banana trees, before you reach the amazing Cades Bay
- Make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes so that you can visit any of Antigua’s five national parks! We recommend Nelson’s Dockyard for its cultural significance and breathtaking views
